　　ANDREW: Your older brother is a little strange, I think.

　　DAN: Steve? You think he's strange? Why?

　　ANDREW: He wanted me to come over and watch "Star Trek" with him.

　　DAN: Oh, that. He's a Trekkie. You shouldn't be surprised.

　　ANDREW: He's a what?

　　DAN: A Trekkie. He's a serious "Star Trek" fan.

　　So he has all the episodes on tape. And he has a "Star Trek" website on the internet.

　　ANDREW: He even has a website? For "Star Trek"?

　　DAN: Yes, he's a serious fan.

　　ANDREW: I don't understand it, though.

　　He's 27 years old. Isn't it kind of immature³ to be serious about a science fiction show?

　　DAN: Don't you have Trekkies in Taiwan?

　　ANDREW: I don't think so. Maybe some kids. But your brother is an adult.

　　And he works for an accounting⁴ firm. Why should he like "Star Trek" so much?

　　DAN: It's just a kind of hobby. Some American adults are like that.

　　They have some show they like, and they know every episode.

　　Some of them even start to collect memorabilia.

　　ANDREW: Memorabilia? What's that?

　　DAN: They collect all the posters, or dolls, or stickers,

　　or anything that comes out from the show.

　　ANDREW: And your brother is like that too?

　　DAN: Oh, sure. Go in his basement some time.

　　You will see the walls are all covered with "Star Trek" stuff.

　　ANDREW: That's too strange! Doesn't he have trouble finding a girlfriend?

　　DAN: Maybe a little.

　　It's true some Americans agree with you. They think it's too immature.

　　ANDREW: I like "Star Trek" sometimes too. I liked the movie.

　　But I don't think of it seriously. It's just for fun.

　　DAN: He does it for fun too. Don't worry. He's not a maniac. He just does it for fun.

 

　　安德鲁：我觉得你哥哥有点怪。

　　丹：史提夫?你觉得他怪?为什么?

　　安德鲁：他想找我来和他一起看《星际迷航记》。

　　丹：喔，那个啊!他是"星际迷"，别大惊小怪。

　　安德鲁：他是什么?

　　丹："星舰迷"。他是《星际迷航记》的电影迷。

　　他拥有所有影集的录影带，他还有《星际迷航记》的网站。

　　安德鲁：他还有网站啊?《星际迷航记》 的吗?

　　丹：是的，他很迷的。

　　安德鲁：我还是不明白。

　　他 27 岁了，还对科幻片这么着迷，不是很幼稚吗?

　　丹：台湾没有星舰迷吗?

　　安德鲁：没有吧!有些小孩子可能是，但是你哥哥是成人啊。

　　而且他在会计公司上班，为什么他这么迷《星际迷航记》?

　　丹：这是一种嗜好罢了。有些美国成人也是如此。

　　他们有自己喜欢的节目，也知道每一集的内容。

　　有些人甚至开始收集纪念品。

　　安德鲁：纪念品?那是什么?

　　丹：他们收集海报、玩偶、尖刀，

　　还有电影里面出现的任何东西。

　　安德鲁：你哥哥也像他们那样?

　　丹：对啊。有空去他的地下室看看。

　　你可以看到墙上到处都是《星际迷航记》里的东西。

　　安德鲁：太奇怪了!他这样找女朋友会有麻烦吗?

　　丹：也许有一点，

　　有些美国人跟你一样，认为他太不成熟了。

　　安德鲁：我也喜欢《星舰迷航记》那部电影。

　　但是我没那么疯狂，纯粹为了好玩。

　　丹：他也是为了好玩而已，别担心，他不是狂热者，只是好玩罢了。
